What preparations should we make for this great offering?’ “The brahmin said, ‘For the Bhagavat and his saṅgha of bhikṣus, you should adorn the entire Jambūvana Park with precious, divine kūṭāgāras that are superior to all others, and with precious trees, wish-fulfilling trees, incense trees, flower trees, fruit trees, divine food, divine cloth, divine cushions, divine mats, divine precious bowls, divine ornaments, parasols, victory banners, flags, streamers, and the sound of divine music.’ “The five kings of the devas said, ‘Friend, we shall do so,’ and obeying the brahmin, they left and returned to their paradises. They summoned the devas Veṭaka, Āvetuka, Rohiṇa, Korabha, and Nanda,¹⁵³ and said to them, ‘Friends, go down today to Jambudvīpa and adorn the Jambūvana Park with a variety of special adornments and seats and various mats, just like the deva world is adorned. Friends, build a precious kūṭāgāra there for the Bhagavat. Build a kūṭāgāra with a precious spire just like this palace.’ - [Previous: 68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.68) - [Next: 70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.70) ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་སྙིང་རྗེ་པད་མ་དཀར་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo.69) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.69) · Pramāṇa
